Question 44

Dr Vance conducted an experiment to investigate the effect of articulatory suppression on verbal working memory recall. He compared the performance of participants recalling a list of words in silence with those recalling a list while repeatedly uttering the word "the" aloud. He collected the following data:

  • Condition 1 (No Suppression): Mean percentage of words recalled = 78% (SD = 3.8)
  • Condition 2 (Articulatory Suppression): Mean percentage of words recalled = 53% (SD = 8.1)

State one conclusion from Dr Vance's results.
